Lady Gaga, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Barbra Streisand in Yentl – at some stage in their careers all these women have pretended to be men for the sake of their art.

Now, in the new video by former Rilo Kiley member Jenny Lewis, Anne Hathaway, Brie Larson, Kristen Stewart and Tennessee Thomas are all seen wearing Adidas tracksuits and sporting facial hair and rat tails.

"We screamed with laughter all day, huddled behind the monitor," Lewis told GQ.com of the video for Just One of the Guys. "I haven't laughed that hard since What About Bob? came out on LaserDisc."

The song itself finds Lewis in confessional mode, describing how her attempts to ape the opposite sex are restricted by those fundamental societal and anatomical differences.

There's only one difference between you and me

When I look at myself all I can see

I'm just another lady without a baby

Taken from her first solo album in six years, Just One of the Guys is the new single from Lewis’s The Voyager, released on 29 July.
